What is that Wlamart brand of 15W40 in the blue container? Who makes it for them? Is that inferior oil?

If you are a person who changes oil at 3K religiously, I'd agree that any diesel rated oil will do just fine for you.
You'll never have a "failure" due to "inferior" oil. The only possible outcome is increased wear..........a very difficult task to prove.
BTW, what "inferior" diesel rated oil do you use?
